Chapter 49, All Things Must Come to an End

  The "gulps" of the elder generation were swallowed, and the divine pulse was already beyond their imagination. The Tai Xuan's one blow had reached such a state that it left people speechless. If they knew that Qin Hao had only spent three months cultivating the Tai Xuan to its peak, who knows what expression they would have.

  Moreover, Qin Hao still felt that this was too mysterious and had no follow-up, the Supreme Elder occasionally wiped away cold sweat, keeping a distance from Qin Hao. This was a killing star, he had already taken down two Supreme Elders of the Mystic Gate, one elder, and two successors. If they were to make another move, they would all be injured and couldn't fight back. Fighting back would likely lead to an even more miserable outcome.

  Everyone used to think that Qin Hao's reliance was the Lei Ling symbol, but when the Taishangmen master returned, he told them that there were no earth-shattering weapons on Shen Mai's body, and the Lei Ling symbol was only a low-grade one. At that time, they let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the low-grade Lei Ling symbol could at most kill one of the Taishang elders, and once used, it would be gone. Shen Mai probably couldn't bear to part with it, and Shen Mai didn't have the strength to resist them, so they started to act recklessly again. Moreover, with the Taishangmen master present, there was no need to fear Shen Mai at all.

  But today's events shattered their reliance, the ultimate Tai Xuan strike that had been cultivated to the extreme was actually able to kill a Daodao cultivator. Although it could be said that Wang Bo didn't have any chance of counterattacking, how could a Daodao cultivator be so weak? But the event happened right before their eyes, Qin Hao easily killed Wang Bo, without even leaving behind any remnants.

  They are all looking at the master of the Taishangmen now, hoping that the master of the Taishangmen will take charge for them. They thought to themselves: We can't control you, can the master of the Taishangmen still not control you?

  Killing the Supreme Elder with a single disagreement, such a thing is considered a heinous crime in the Mystic Door, but they didn't dare say anything bad about it because Qin Hao was a ruthless star.

  Qin Hao wasn't that scary, this mysterious strike was his full strength, and in a short time, he absolutely couldn't use it again. The reason he didn't blush or pant was just an act for them to see. Qin Hao is also uncomfortable now, his whole body has no energy, and the feeling of emptiness inside, probably won't recover for two or three months.

  What's most important is that the meridians in his fingers were damaged, and it's likely to take at least a year or two for him to recover. If it weren't for Little Meng turning Wang Bo into purple energy and injecting it into his body at the critical moment, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand upright now, let alone not turn red with rage. Even so, he was still suffering unbearably.

  "The top ten elders of the Supreme Sect said in unison, their meaning clear: if Qin Hao is not dealt with today, they will not accept it."

  "The master..." The current gate owner also spoke up, Qin Hao's strength had already threatened him, and even the Taishang elder could be killed, so how could he, as the gate owner, be spared.

  The master of the Taishangmen sympathized with them, but he knew that between Qin Hao and them, he had to choose one. He coughed softly, with an apologetic expression: "Wang Bi's fate has been exhausted, it can't be blamed on others."

  The host of the "Puff" door spat out the tea in his mouth on the spot. What is called exhausting one's luck, who can blame?

  The remaining ten Taishang elders were so angry that they almost vomited blood. The meaning of the Taishangmen master was that Wang Bi deserved to die.

  "Qin Hao is a naturally noble and majestic person, how can you people guess his fate? If you have evil intentions, I'm afraid it's also because your luck has run out." The master of the Taishangmen said.

  This time they understood, the master is determined to protect Qin Hao at all costs, even if it means sacrificing their own lives for Qin Hao's sake. The following sentence is very clear: if you also want to go and die, then I've warned you too.

  "What's going on here?" The elder of Yunfeng was extremely dissatisfied, but while speaking, he glanced at Qin Hao with his eyes, afraid that if Qin Hao said something wrong, he would be in trouble.

  "Because I will accept Qin Hao as a junior apprentice and establish him as the successor of the Xuanmen Sect." After a pause, the Master of the Taishang Gate spoke up.

  The entire hall was suddenly in an uproar, they couldn't accept this fact no matter what, but in the next moment, they seemed to understand why the master of the Taoist sect had done so.

  "Does the Supreme Gate Master want to make Shenmo continue the inheritance of Xuanmen's fortune?" Yang, the master of the Law Enforcement Pavilion, suddenly understood that everyone only thought of killing Shenmo and using his blood to sacrifice the door, but no one had thought of making Shenmo a successor to continue the fortune of Xuanmen. This is more practical than sacrificing Shenmo with blood.

  "Yes, I hope everyone will put the bigger picture first. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Qin Hao, don't blame me for being impolite." Xuan Wuming said, his tone carrying an overbearing air.

  "It turned out to be like this." Several of the elder generation looked at Qin Hao with a much kinder gaze, if it was really like this, then they wouldn't even have the possibility of making a move against Qin Hao now.

  But some of the elder Taishang still refused to accept: "His aura is indeed strong, but can he really continue the declining trend of Xuanmen?"

  "Yes, Patriarch Taishangmen, you must think thrice about this. If other sects were to discover that our Xuanmen is hiding a divine pulse, it would be a great calamity and we might face the risk of extinction." Some people echoed in agreement.

  But they didn't know that the Xuanmen was already facing a disaster of extinction, which Xuan Wuming had sensed from the moment he left his seclusion. For three months, he exhausted his lifespan to deduce the heavenly mechanism and only then did he realize how severe the situation was.

  "That's enough, I've made up my mind. You don't need to say any more." Xuan Wuming let out a cold snort, and the opposing Taishang Elder immediately didn't dare speak again.

  Everyone was silent, Xuan Wuming looked at Qin Hao, but they were arguing quite happily on this side, and Qin Hao didn't care about them at all.

  He simply looked at Mingyue Xiang, his eyes filled with a thousand words, as if saying, "I'm not useless, I don't need your protection anymore."

  But Mingyue Xiang still shook her head, Qin Hao was formidable but not enough. If the Mystic Door was a small stream, then the Great Sect was a vast and turbulent river. How could Mingyue Xiang not know what Qin Hao was thinking? Qin Hao wanted to follow her to the Great Sect, but she knew it was impossible. A cultivator like Qin Hao who had achieved enlightenment in the Mystic Door might be able to kill others, but a cultivator from the Great Sect would likely be able to easily kill Qin Hao. This was the difference between the Great Sect and the Mystic Door - their foundations were different, and their powers were worlds apart.

  Seeing the master's expression, Qin Hao's eyes were filled with doubt, as if asking why, why he could kill a cultivator who had achieved enlightenment but couldn't go with him, was he always trash in his eyes? Always?

  Mingyue Xiang's response was simple, just a nod. "Yes, you are a waste, your body has great luck, but this is also the place where you will die. You are destined to only stay in a small ditch like Xuandao and cannot jump into the big river."

  Facing such an answer, Qin Hao's heart suddenly calmed down, his face somewhat bewildered, and almost without hesitation, he walked out of the grand hall. Behind him, Xuan Wuming called out: "Qin Hao, young friend, you haven't replied to me yet."

  "I promised to be the successor of Xuanmen, but in this life, I only have one master, Mingyue Xiang." Qin Hao said without turning his head, and his figure quickly disappeared into Xuanmen. At the moment he agreed, the aura on his body instantly connected with the entire Xuanmen, and at that moment, the people of Xuanmen seemed to feel that the sky was clearer, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth became thicker.

  "What kind of logic is this."

  Yunfeng's elder sneered: "This thing that doesn't understand etiquette."

  "Do you want to die?" Mingyue Xiang immediately stood up, her anger soaring to the sky. A cold killing intent spread out, and Yunfeng's Taishang elder suddenly puffed his nose and glared, but didn't dare speak. This master and apprentice were simply a perfect match, and neither of them could afford to offend the other.

  All the senior elders had lowered their flags and ceased drumming, especially the senior elder of Yunfeng who hastily smiled and apologized. Only Xuan Wuming seemed to have seen something - Qin Hao's sudden violent departure, leaving without even a word, was apparently related to Mingyue Xiang.

  "Master Taishangmen, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Mingyue Xiang regained her composure.

  "Go." Originally, Xuán Wú Míng had wanted to match Qin Hao and Qing Xuan as Dao companions, but now it seems that Qin Hao and Qing Xuan are fundamentally incompatible.

  "Is this matter not worth considering?" said an opposing elder after Mingyue Xiang took Qingxuan away.

  "I know you have grievances, but please put the bigger picture first. Haven't you noticed that the fundamental energy of heaven and earth has undergone a great change?" Xuan Wuming said with a deep breath.

  At this point, several senior elders felt something strange: "The heaven and earth's primordial energy has thickened a bit, could it be due to the divine pulse's operation?"

  "The aura is the most mysterious thing in this world, and even a single word or action will be affected by it. Qin Hao agreed to become the successor of the Mystic Gate, and his aura immediately connected with that of the Mystic Gate. The primordial energy of heaven and earth became even more abundant, and at the current rate, it's not impossible that the Mystic Gate will become a blessed land in the future. Although the dragon vein of my Mystic Gate has dried up, if the primordial energy of heaven and earth becomes thick to a terrifying degree, the revival of the dragon vein is not a difficult task." Xuan Wuming said, revealing the prospects for the future.

  Some of the senior elders, although they had grievances in their hearts, could not help but accept this fact. Now, they not only couldn't offend Qin Hao, but also had to protect him. If a Xuanmen successor were killed, even if they found another disciple with a strong aura, they still wouldn't be able to continue the aura. Everyone in Xuanmen would suffer from bad luck.

  As the saying goes, "things don't happen more than three times". Counting that Day Peak's second brother, Qin Hao is already the third one.

  The news spread to every disciple of the Xuanmen, and everyone's first reaction was shock. Three months ago, the divine pulse that had caused a stir in the Xuanmen had unexpectedly become the successor of the Xuanmen.

  "How is this possible? How can this trash become the successor of the Mystic Sect?" Xiaoyu was on the verge of going mad with rage, her heart extremely unbalanced.

  "Establishing a ancestral hall, why must we always set up an incense altar to worship our ancestors before it's done? Why is this time different?" Some people also started to wonder.

  "I heard that today at Ri Feng, Shen Mai took action and beheaded Wang Bi, using only one move."

  "What's going on? You're not talking nonsense, are you? That Wang Bi is the Supreme Elder, could it be that the Divine Pulse used the Thunder Spirit Symbol?"

  "It's impossible, once the Thunder Spirit Symbol is used, there will be a huge commotion, and if it's used, the entire Day Peak will probably be destroyed, how can that be possible."

  "Did he use a native weapon?"

  "It is very likely......"

  Some of his fellow disciples began to speculate in their hearts, and they couldn't think that Qin Hao had killed Wang Bo with his own strength, because it was impossible...
